President of the Serb List Goran Rakic said after the meeting that President Vucic asked from Serb representatives for peaceful, democratic and non-violent protests only, regardless of the further moves of Pristina.

We told the President that there is fear and concern with which the Serb people in the province are facing, Rakic said, adding that Pristina fees did not target Serbia, but are directly against the survival of the Serbian people in Kosovo.

He welcomed the protest of students in Kosovska Mitrovica, who with their mouths covered with a tape showed that Europe is persistently keeping silent and that, apart from mild statements, it is taking no steps to force Pristina to withdraw the brutal tax with the aim of making the Serbs leave Kosovo.

The situation on the ground is alarming, food supplies are running out, and it is even harder in the south of the Ibar, Rakic pointed out, adding that there will be problems with the procurement of energy.

The question is whether schools and homes will have heating because, for example, the city heating plant in Kosovska Mitrovica works on oil, so the question is how it will get.

Outgoing Kosovo Deputy Prime Minister Dalibor Jevtic said that the situation is getting worse day by day, especially for Serbs south of the Ibar.

Those who are silent about these decisions and measures, support the expulsion of Serbs from Kosovo. Instead of announcements on Twitter, we expect concrete measures, primarily from the EU, because it has the mechanisms to directly force Pristina to change the decision on taxes, through the SAA and in other ways, added Jevtic.

Serbian List MP Miljana Nikolic said that there is a humanitarian catastrophe in Kosovo-Metohija, noting that with taxes, they attacked the right to freedom, our dignity. The basic foodstuffs are in question today, electricity and gas will be questionable tomorrow, and we ask if they would deprive us of air too, Nikolic said.
